Matatu operators plan nationwide strike over attacks by boda boda riders

Transport operations across the country are set to be disrupted tomorrow as Matatu operators begin a nationwide strike to protest attacks by boda boda operators. Matatu operators say the decision was arrived at after the government failed to take any action on the arsonists, who they say have caused them losses running into millions of shillings. The strike could also see truck drivers withdraw their vehicles to press the government to arrest and prosecute those involved in the attacks.
